2018 Preseason Top 25 Released

[Yukon]

Little surprised not to see Idaho in top 25.

They think Jensen is still the QB.....so much for their credibility

I think y'all are reading that paragraph wrong. Look:
"Griz fans hope that the return of head coach Bobby Hauck, who went 80-17 and led three FCS runner-up finishes from 2003-09, will return the longtime Big Sky power to national prominence. Quarterback Gresch Jensen, who threw for 20 touchdowns as a freshman, transferred out, but UNLV transfer Dalton Snead will connect with wide receivers Keenan Curran and Jerry Louie-McGhee. Linebacker Josh Buss is primed for a banner senior season, and safety Josh Sandry returns after intercepting three passes."

I was just going to say that, the "transferred out" means he transferred out.

Really? Given the stellar journalism here, you’re surprised? I’d agree with you though. Wonder if the piece gets updated again?

Griz fans hope that the return of head coach Bobby Hauck, who went 80-17 and led three FCS runner-up finishes from 2003-09, will return the longtime Big Sky power to national prominence. Quarterback Gresch Jensen, who threw for 20 touchdowns as a freshman, will look to keep connecting with wide receivers Keenan Curran and Jerry Louie-McGhee. Linebacker Josh Buss is primed for a banner senior season, and safety Josh Sandry returns after intercepting three passes.

Pay attention...the original has been edited

Petrino has some really good linemen.

I'm also a bit surprised Sac State isn't rated higher but this is just a preseason predicition by Haley--the surprise to me is him giving any ink at all out of Appalachia and the east in general.

Preseason for the conference and the tournament can go a long ways toward regaining a bit of respect.

This is obviously inaccurate since its a preseason poll and the Bobcats aren't #1.

THIS!!!

Agree. When I saw they had NDSU as #1 rather than MSU I immediately discarded this as drunken nonsense and stopped reading.

It's hard to rank the Vandals because there isn't anyone who really knows if they are going back to FBS. The Fans are hopeing for an invite to the SEC. Rumor is that they feel the Big Sky is crap, all of the teams in the league arn't really college calaber , they would rather drop football than play peewee Big sky football . Their excuse for loseing to the Eagles last meeting was that they played a third string QB against them andEastern got lucky. All those big wins against WSU, and U of W that the vandals pulled off over the years are all part of the dillusional fog that their fans live in every day. I know someone who works in the athletic dept at U of I for real , and this is the crap she has to listen to every day. Getting back to reality there is no one I'd like to see go 0 and 11 better than the Vandals. They are aroragant beyond belief, don't respect the calaber of players in the FCS, and I will be so angry if we lose to them!!! We don't get to play a great Montana team this year but I'm looking forward to 2019 in Montana your fans are passionate and your stadium is great. Good luck this year against the cats and hope that Montana dominates Idaho!! Go Eags Protect the Red!!!

Yeah, I don't see U of I in the Top 5 in the BSC, let alone the FCS Top 25.

Apologize about the grammer! In reference to the drinking,when you rope in off a chopper into a hot LZ,you don't need drugs or alcohal to get a good sense of reality!!!
